Initially I felt Ray was a bit too hard for my liking because God saved me with love (See Jude 22 (King James Version)) as it is the goodness of God that leads to repentance. Knowing that God loved me and was such a gentle, beautiful God, that lead me to truly repent. God already revealed to me that there was a hell and about sin, but it was done with so much love and gentleness.

But after growing in Christ and growing in discernment, I've come to see that Ray has a wonderful heart. In the past I gave him a 3 rating, but now I push that up. I don't give him a 5 because although he has a lot of good points (I will get to them), and although we are to warn some people with the fear of God as Ray does, the hellfire method doesn't work on everyone and to preach that this is the ONLY way of saving a person, from experience and even just looking at the rater Beloved's weblist 'Salvation' (hellfire method is almost at the bottom, just read the comments written in this yet gentle love approach is at the top), this is not true.

There are various ways of getting a person to come to the decision to commit to Jesus and there is no 'right' or 'only' way. Just as long as a person repents and commits/gives their life to Jesus (believes), they will be saved. I believe Ray has been called to witness to the people who think they are good people therefore don't need God or people who are just deluded and think 'we all go to heaven, hell isn't a literal place' There are a great multitude of people who believe that and just think being 'good' is enough to go to heaven. They are mistaken and in for a shocking surprise. Yet God loves those people just as tenderly and as much as the people who need the gentle, love approach to accept the Great Sacrafice on the Cross. Ray has been called to those people.

The only other point is that maybe I don't agree on everything he says and can be a little heavy.

On the POSITIVE side, he is on a mission and is anointed, he has a genuine heart and I just wish all evangelists were as genuine as Ray. If that were so, evangelists would have a far better reputation by the world then they do now. Plus he has such a strong passion to save the lost and he has certainly woke me up! Glory to the God who has created him. What I also love about Ray and Kirk (who is just as good) is, well, don't mean to offend anyone but usually Christian movies are poor quality and the acting is poor. Yet when Ray does something, he does it properly, just look at his website! Even his website is so good, I certainly wouldn't be ashamed of showing that to the most carnel minded person who hated Christian things. Because he is so genuine and real, I also feel he gives glory to God and doesn't do half witted, alcheapo things. And he isn't after your money like a lot of grubby evangelists are, but just wants people to get saved, even offering free resources on his website. I also love his sense of humour. Although I may have my negative points listed above, the positive outweigh the negative therefore he gets a high rating.
